Three days later the problem came back, though not as loud as before (I'm expecting it to return, though). I'm not going to bother taking it back, based on what I'm reading here.

Also, to rant a bit on an unrelated topic, I had them apply TSB 18-2274 AGAIN (it didn't take the first time) and, while it definitely shifts better, it still shutters from 5>4>3. Definitely not liquid smooth like my wife's Accord with 200K miles.

I'm seriously thinking about getting into a Sierra or Silverado. This is the first new truck I've ever bought myself and I'm pretty sick with Ford's overall lack of quality control.
